Passport/Visa Note: All foreign passengers to Liberia require a visa. Holders of a
pre-arranged visa can obtain a visa on arrival, provided that: (i)
they are entering from a country without diplomatic representation
of Liberia; (ii) their visa has been pre-arranged and paid for by a
local sponsor in Liberia; and (iii) the transporting carrier in
Monrovia is informed of the following details: the passenger's
name, nationality, document number, flight number, date of arrival,
and address of stay in Liberia. Note that passengers should not be
boarded unless a telex confirmation from the airline's station
manager in Monrovia is stapled to the ticket. A yellow fever
vaccination certificate is required to enter Liberia. NOTE: It is
highly recommended that your passport has at least six months
validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your
travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different
rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
Local Customs: Travellers to Liberia should not be unduly worried about
transgressing social etiquette. Avoid boisterous behaviour and
ostentatious displays of wealth, and make sure to smile at and
greet people in the street (especially when they have made eye
contact with you). Unfortunately, due to the extreme safety
precautions one must exercise when visiting Liberia, foreigners may
find it impossible to 'scratch under the surface' of Liberian
society.
Duty Free: Visitors to Liberia may import the following goods duty-free:
200 cigarettes/25 cigars/250g of tobacco, one litre of spirits and
one litre of wine, 100g perfume and one litre eau de toilette, and
gifts valued at US$125.
